I was in Chapel Hill for work and the Lantern was recommended by a bartender in the area. Eating at the bar was strongly recommended over the dinning room. The bar is located in a back room and is fairly dark. Servers were friendly and not over-intrusive. Gave great suggestions on dinner options. Went with the fried calamari salad and...

Went as part of a large group--beware, small venue, you will need reservations if you are a big group or if you want to be sure to get in. They had a pre-fix menu for us. Appetizers were very good, try the chaat, the salt and pepper shrimp and the spring rolls. The charcuterie plate was not something I'm into--"head...

I've known about this restaurant for a while now and was delighted to have the opportunity to finally dine there. The atmosphere is modern and spare, but with a comforting vibe and the noise never rises above a low hum.

I was a bit reluctant to believe all the hype @ this place, especially since I am not a huge sushi fan....BU, it was totally terrific. Quite an eclectic mix of locally sourced non-sushi items as well. Incredibly attentive wait staff, great wine selection and a solid value for the upscale price

It's a fancy Asian fusion restaurant. The chef is well known nationally. I've always had good meals. Except about every third visit when it's been mind blowing. Worth it especially for drinks in the back bar--feels like you're in Brooklyn.

Not a bad place to eat. Food was okay service was very good. If you're wondering Asian I guess you shouldn't order steak. Or even a pork chop. Everyone about table enjoyed the fish entree. I guess that's what I should have got

Excellent food. Outstanding service. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and found every dish we tried, absolutely delicious. There were five vegetarian appetizers and one vegetarian entree, so we ordered one of each and shared them between us. My husband and I thought each dish was beautifully presented, thoughtfully created and wonderfully flavorful. The dessert choices were varied and unique, except...

The food was fantastic! Certainly different than our typical date night fare. The catfish was delicious and my non-veggie eating husband devoured the crunchy spinach. The decor inside is very bland and there's no real ambiance about the place, but the food is very good and location great.
